In practice, a single lemon cell is incapable of lighting a light bulb or even a flashlight bulb.

By comparison, the " transistor " could fit in a pocket and weighed half a pound, or less, and was powered by standard flashlight batteries or a single compact 9-volt battery.

The Mark V initially used a single power source for the flashlight, sprinting, and oxygen supply ; in Half-Life 2: Episode Two the flashlight was given a separate power source to improve gameplay.

There are complications, and the technique requires careful preparation and a level of skill and experience above that required for a single anchor.

For some applications, a single alpha channel is not sufficient: a stained-glass window, for instance, requires a separate transparency channel for each RGB channel to model the red transparency, green transparency, and blue transparency.

# A poly-T oligonucleotide primer is hybridized onto the poly-A tail of the mature mRNA template, or random hexamer primers can be added which contain every possible 6 base single strand of DNA and can therefore hybridize anywhere on the RNA ( Reverse transcriptase requires this double-stranded segment as a primer to start its operation.

They say that it requires the complete renaming of only two exoplanetary systems: The planets around HW Virginis would be renamed HW Vir ( AB ) b & ( AB ) c, while those around NN Serpentis would be renamed NN Ser ( AB ) b & ( AB ) c. In addition the previously known single circumbinary planets around PSR B1620-26 and DP Leonis ) can almost retain their names ( PSR B1620-26 b and DP Leonis b ) as unofficial informal forms of the "( AB ) b " designation where the "( AB )" is left out.

Secondly, it is impossible for any device operating on a cycle to produce net work from a single temperature reservoir ; the production of net work requires flow of heat from a hotter reservoir to a colder reservoir, or a single expanding reservoir undergoing adiabatic cooling, which performs adiabatic work.

The pure freeware model of software development has been criticized as " unsustainable " because it requires a single entity to be responsible for updating and enhancing the product, which is then given away for free.

This requires two transistors for each pixel instead of the single transistor needed for a standard thin-film transistor ( TFT ) display.

Finally, any function that requires two inputs, for instance the aforementioned function, can be reworked into an equivalent function that accepts a single input, and as output returns another function, that in turn accepts a single input.

In the monolithic system, the service is obtained by a single system call, which requires two mode switches ( changes of the processor's ring or CPU mode ).

More generally, and particularly with gilled mushrooms, separating edible from poisonous species requires meticulous attention to detail ; there is no single trait by which all toxic mushrooms can be identified, nor one by which all edible mushrooms can be identified.

Corruption of a single bit in a packet requires that the entire packet be retransmitted.

These reactions occur at far higher energies than with non-ionization radiation, which requires only single particles to ionize.

Since the two-round system requires more information from each voter than a single ordinal ballot provides, one can't fit the criteria that are formulated expressly for voters with ordinal preferences without making a generalization as to how the voters will behave.

" Single grain " does not mean that only a single type of grain was used to produce the whisky — rather, the adjective " single " refers only to the use of a single distillery ( and making a " single grain " requires using a mixture of grains, as barley is a type of grain and some malted barley must be used in all Scotch whisky ).

Grain whiskies are distilled in a column still, which requires a single distillation to achieve the desired alcohol content.

While this configuration requires minimal hardware, it is entirely dependent on a single point of failure: the Internet connection.

Ensuring that multiple users can harmoniously share a single communications link requires some kind of equitable sharing of the link.

An action puzzle or arcade puzzle requires that the player manipulates game pieces in a real-time environment, often on a single screen and with a time limit, to solve the puzzle or clear the level.

Light to carry and easy to operate, the FIM-92 Stinger is a passive surface-to-air missile, shoulder-fired by a single operator, although officially it requires two.

Everything about Omelas is pleasing, except for the city's one atrocity: the good fortune of Omelas requires that a single unfortunate child be kept in perpetual filth, darkness and misery, and that all her citizens should be told of this upon coming of age.

The Lorentz transform for a boost in one of the above directions can be compactly written as a single matrix equation:

The album got a new boost in 2006 when the second single was announced as " Always on Your Side ," re-recorded with British musician Sting and sent off to radio, where it was quickly embraced at Adult Top 40.

Each single player track is littered with coins and power up tiles, as well as turbo tiles which give the karts a boost of speed and jumps which launch the karts into the air.

It used newer 20, 000-gate CMOS and 10, 000-gate emitter-coupled logic ( ECL ) gate arrays for a boost in clock speed from 10 MHz to 25 MHz, and rated at 50 MFLOPS peak for double precision per CPU ( 100 MFLOPS peak for single precision ).

The attention allowed both the album and single to chart on Billboard, and resulted in a boost in album sales.

After the war, an unprecedented boost to the town's population came about as a result of the large-scale building programmes of the fifties and sixties which eventually replaced Balmuildy, Cadder and Woodhill farmlands with private housing, effectively amalgamating the various villages in the area into a single town, centred on the village of Bishopbriggs, increasing the population from 5, 272 in 1951 to 21, 000 in the early 1970s.

Another function of the pedal is to use it to boost certain frequencies by keeping it in a single position, emphasizing the " sweet spot " in the tonal spectrum of an instrument.

Nishikawa ’ s performance on NHK ’ s music variety show Pop Jam ( which he would, later in his career, cohost for eleven months ) helped boost sales, eventually selling out all first press copies of the single.

With the failure of the worldwide revolution envisaged by Lenin and Trotsky, the Civil War, and finally Lenin's death, war measures that were deemed to be temporary, such as forced requisition of food and the lack of democratic control, became permanent and a tool to boost Stalin's power, leading to the emergence of Marxism – Leninism and Stalinism, as well as the notion that socialism can be created and exist in a single state.

Power came from a 1. 8 litre, single turbocharged Ford / Cosworth " BDT " engine producing in road-going trim, and between 350 and in racing trim ; upgrade kits were available for road-going versions to boost power output to over.

The boost engines are held together as a single assembly by a metal ring at the rear of the missile.

However, this didn't seem to boost the success of Popstars Live nor its contestants, with no others releasing singles, nor have Kayne or Miranda released a second single as of November 2004.

However, the follow-up single, which was the album's title track, went on to spend five weeks at number one, helping boost the album's sales to double platinum.

The SRAM used a single W69 nuclear warhead with a variable yield of 17 kilotons as a fission weapon, or 210 kilotons as a fusion weapon with Tritium boost enabled.

An extended service set ( ESS ) is a set of one or more interconnected BSSs and integrated local area networks that appear as a single BSS to the logical link control layer at any station associated with one of those BSSs ; the BSSs may work on the same channel, or work on different channels to boost aggregate throughput.

Dawn Patrols first single, " Don't Tell Me You Love Me ", received a boost through its MTV video airplay and peaked modestly at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The international success of the album received a boost when a music video for the first single, " Don't Go ", was played in the interval between contestants and the scoring in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.

After using the introduction of 3D chip to deliver more powerful FPGAs, Xilinx then adapted the technology to combine formerly separate components in a single chip, first combining an FPGA with transceivers to boost bandwidth capacity while using less power.

Its fame was given a boost in the 1990s when it was featured in the 1996 film Trainspotting, and after a star-studded version was released as a BBC charity single in 1997, which became the UK's number one single for three weeks.

Most turbo models have an intercooled turbo ( the exceptions being the single cam RB20ET & RB30ET engines ), and most have a recirculating factory blow off valve ( the exceptions being when fitted to Laurels and Cefiros ) to reduce boost surge when the throttle is closed.

The version of " Blue " on the original vinyl LP and cassette was re-mixed for the single release in an attempt to boost its commercial appeal.
